New grads should understand that a lot of highly experienced nurses are being blown off too--mostly as a means to control salaries.

If places have enough of a budget crunch, they can certainly be pressued to take the new grad. NG's are cheaper--and they are less likely to assert themselves against unfair scheduling, and other such things. They are easier to control, ha ha ha.

Yeah, life can sometimes be unfair if you hear that you are overqualified as a nurse. I mean of course you gain many experience so how come they don't take advantage of it instead of saying you are overqualified.
